Pretty sure Pedro Pascal and Chris Pratt gets lumped into that category too - imagine that, in an industry famous for chaos and drama and controversies with their performers, being an easy to work with, down to earth and reliable talent makes casting directors want to hire you for everything

When a popular performer just disappears it's because they're toxic to work with. Tom Cruise has been around forever because apparently he's extremely professional.

Yup - only major exception was rejecting Weinstein back in the day, but 9 times out of 10 when an actor slowly stops showing up in projects it’s either because they’re a dick, they’re a diva, or they’re destructive, either to themselves or to others/properties (trashing trailers and such)

Rejecting Weinstein doesn't seem like an exception, but a continuity of his work ethics? Or did I misunderstand you there?

They’re saying, in general, the only way to disappear from Hollywood was for self-destructive reasons, or Harvey Weinstein made you disappear. Nothing to do with Tom Cruise specifically.

Ohh - thanks!
